Scavenger Hunt Sunday

There should be the feeling of summer by now but it has been cold, windy and wet. Hope that's not a sign of what summer will be like this year.

The state I live in once had license plates which proclaimed it to be Vacationland. The town I live in is a tourist town. At this time of year everyone around me is on vacation. Even though I live just a few steps from the ocean when I am on vacation I usually choose a place on the ocean.

#1. VACATION

#2. FOOD - Food trucks are popping up all over the city. Wicked Good is an expression used around these parts and in the case of this food truck it refers to its two sided menu - items you really shouldn't eat but want to and those which are healthy choices.

#3. SOUND - How do you photograph sound? It's not like you're going to hear anything. The first thing that popped into my mind was the Simon and Garfunkle song Sound of Silence. Seemed like a good idea to me at the time.

#4. TEXTURE

A walk around the harbor reveals many items with great texture.

5. ANYTHING - This weekend we pay special tribute and thanks to those who have served our country. We are eternally grateful to those brave men and women who continue to serve us today. And to their families . We thank you for the sacrifices you make to protect us.

so, between the beach shot, the "wicked good" food truck and the cobblestones, I put you in new england...I'm in woburn, outside of Boston - what about you?Just love your take on sound...and love simon and garfunkel!

I don't live anywhere near the ocean, nor do we visit very often. Luckily I do have gorgeous mountains nearby. I thought of "the sounds of silence" too, but ended up photographing a symbols for sound instead.
